Nurse staffing in Colorado, quarter by quarter

Hours worked by nurses and nurse aides per resident per day, from the daily payroll records every Colorado home sends CMS, added up across the state. In January to March 2026, weekend staffing ran 15% below weekdays (nationally 15%), and contract or agency staff worked 5.9% of nursing hours (nationally 5.3%).

Quarter	All nursing staff	Registered nurses	Weekdays	Weekends	Contract share	US, all staff
Jan to Mar 2026	3.59	0.76	3.75	3.18	5.9%	3.75
Oct to Dec 2025	3.54	0.75	3.69	3.15	5.6%	3.76
Jul to Sep 2025	3.60	0.77	3.76	3.18	6.0%	3.77
Apr to Jun 2025	3.60	0.79	3.77	3.17	6.9%	3.78

These are hours across all of the state's residents, so they differ a little from the averages of homes CMS publishes in the table above. Source: CMS Payroll Based Journal Daily Nurse Staffing. Every state compared: the weekend staffing gap.
